strong textHello,
I ran into a problem: at a certain point, the locale flew off. For the time being, I put up with the fact that some programs swear, but only until LibreOffice became one with them. Now when I insert Russian text into it (insert “only text”, without formatting), it turns them into strange characters and question marks. However, if I just write something in it in Russian, then everything is OK. In the settings of its language I set wherever possible the Russian language. I put different packages, fresh and still — nothing helped.
Setting up locales, as written in archwiki and other official sources — all in vain. Error after error.
For example, locale outputs:
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=«ru_RU.UTF-8»
LC_NUMERIC=ru_RU.UTF-8
LC_TIME=ru_RU.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY=ru_RU.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES=«ru_RU.UTF-8»
LC_PAPER=ru_RU.UTF-8
LC_NAME=ru_RU.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=ru_RU.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=ru_RU.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=ru_RU.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=ru_RU.UTF-8

In locale.gen these lines uncommented:

Tried to edit locale.conf – didn’t help.
In the system settings, the same locales as in locale.gen installed.
